Ballpark Construction Mode

[ignats75]

I was a little disappointed in this feature as I thought it would be more detailed and complete than it is. I just rewatched a preseason trailer video (thought it was something else) but it touched on this feature and I was surprised to see what they were doing on the screen.

So, what's the status on upgrading this feature? I know more is supposed to be coming. Any hints?

It'll be expanded on over time, no idea when however.

Thanks for that response

The modders were already able to create really excellent stadium models. This tool would have been useful if it was tied into the game world. There are ZERO game mechanics that support a new stadium.

It doesn't do anything financially, with the owner, with the city, with the fans, with tickets, concessions etc......... Even if the tool made the most excellent 3D stadiums I would look at it as less then useful if there are no game mechanics supporting it.

And as I have heard the tool will be expanded a little bit each year like the 3D engine I haven't heard anything about stadium game mechanics. It's been a big disappointment for me so far.

I mean if I want stadiums all I have to do is click 1 button on the steam workshop there are hundreds of stadiums there.

Agreed with everything you said, except I don't want to use other people's stadiums. I set up a fictional league and every team has a fictional stadium. I named the teams and made the logos. (OK, I stole many of them from elsewhere.) I named the stadiums. I designed the uniforms. I wanted to build them too. My world is smaller stadiums (like minor league or independent league size. I wanted to build my own with unique footprints so that when I played; the 3D engine was more immersive.

I guess I will have to use a third party stadium builder program instead. So, yes its been a big disappointment for me too. Again, as I said in the OP, the YT preview video included showing this feature and it doing alot more than it does.
